What is going on with this game?
Just like my title.
What the hell is going on with this game right now?
At this point, I'm not asking you to fix the game or anything, just let me play the game normally.
Why do I face at least one issue that ruins everything whenever I play this game?
And surprise, it's always me.
Don't tell me it's a connection issue because this occurs online, offline, UT, career mode and everything.
My players cannot run.
My players won't move, doing nothing other than standing still and watching like a goddamn clown.
My players take three seconds to accelerate and actually start sprinting.
My players cannot pass the ball even though I punched a button two days ago.
My players cannot make a normal movement at all. They are too heavy and slow every time and everywhere.
My players cannot receive a pass normally. They are staggered by the enormous force of the ball.
My players just bounce off immediately whenever they are challenged.
My players start losing stamina almost immediately. They are huffing and puffing 20 minutes into the match.
My players cannot make any challenge regardless of their stats or abilities.
My goalkeepers don't know how to clear the ball. They just lightly punch or deflect the ball right before the opponents.
Meanwhile, my opponents (online or AI) make superspeed sprints with a millisecond acceleration.
My opponents make flexible tactical movements.
My opponents make superspeed passes like laser-guided missiles regardless of angles or positions.
My opponents make yet another lightspeed sharp turn and movements without any inertia, loss of balance, or even the proudly advertised animations.
My opponents can easily chase my 'sprinting' players even though they start running 10 yards behind with lower stats.
My opponents always make impeccable tackles and challenges with perfect balance. Always.
My opponents' goalkeepers make impossible saves with impossible speed. How come they recover from a dive past the right post and then make a superhuman save from the left upper corner?
What is going on? Seriously.
It's like my game is suppressed by some weird mechanic.
Or is it the EA God doesn't favor me and it's not my day?
Hey, I'm okay with playing with rats, I'm okay with playing with someone who abuses certain mechanics, I'm okay with facing someone who's far better than me, or whatever.
Just let me play the game normally. Normally. I can't do anything right now.
It takes a second to start up the passing animation. The ball travels with the speed of a tortoise and the receiver makes the most heavy random touch that bounces off to the North Pole while my players are staggered. Even if I manage to contain the ball, it takes another full second to turn. And then another 3 seconds to accelerate.
Meantime, my opponents just 'charge' at my players with super strength and super speed, making successful tackles, challenges, and body slams. And that's not a foul obviously.
I'm in the box, I see a space, and I push a button to shoot -- my players make the most sluggish movement and take 2 seconds to shoot. Then my opponents zoom from the middle of the pitch and do a perfect-timed tackle.
EA, this is the game you made. It's not inconsistent. This is random.
Your game is random.
Your game, what you presented, a sugar-coated, exaggerated copy-and-pasted game disguised and advertised as a 'new' game, is just like what I'm experiencing right now.
You should thank the other competitors who cannot come up with polished products yet.
I won't ask you to fix the game.
I know you don't give a damn.
This is my fifth time reporting the problems I found from the release date.
I've found other people having the same kinds of problems.
And do you know what you did with the first update?
You fix the menu responsiveness.
You fix the menu. No the gameplay itself. The menu.
What a joke.
